Résumé
The world has entered a new climatic regime, in which past regularities no longer hold. We are likely heading into several decades in which drought, floods, harvest failure and all the political and social upheaval these will cause become the norm. In such a context, this paper asks, what are the responsibilities and practices of mathematics teacher educators? I adopt a socio-ecological perspective in addressing that question. The data comes from narrative interviews with 9 mathematics teacher educators in the UK. The aim of the interviews was to uncover current practices which have been influenced by the new climatic regime. The findings indicate a strong desire to bring issues of climate justice into teacher education programmes and a range of systemic barriers to this happening, including time and curriculum constraints. A desire for more opportunities for mathematics teacher educators to meet and share resources and approaches was felt by many.
